"When you are awakening, spiritually, the challenges of life no longer pull you into unhappiness."

Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle has an almost hypnotic voice, but his talks are always speckled with real humour.

He presents in this talk, the idea that stilling the thoughts in our minds, allows us to feel moments of presences which makes us feel alive!

He refers to the clutter we subject our minds to, with devices and social media - something I feel very strongly about, and think the term ‘clutter’ describes it perfectly.  He gives a very simple trick to instantly declutter your mind - look up to the sky, stop your thoughts and observe the spaciousness of the sky.

It’s something I have been trying over the past few days, and it is effective.

Can you take a few moments every day, to look up, take in the vastness of the sky above, and clear your minds for a few precious moments?
